Velvet Green - Jethro Tull
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: standard
INFO: Song was tabbed from a youtube video cover by username 3ed3ed3. I thought this rendition was absolutely
amazing and incredibly accurate and precise, and found that there was no tab of it available so I went ahead
and tabbed it. To better understand the tab use the video as reference. In the chord section I used the
standard letter chords but I also tabbed the chords shapes, because he uses different chord shapes for the
same chords and if you do the same it matches the song very well. The tab is split into sections and staves
are numbered accordingly.

Won't you have my company, yes take it in you hands go down to velvet green with a country man
GWho's a young girls fancy and an Fold maid's dream. G
Bb c Gsus2 F
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green.
Gsus2One dusky half-hour's rFide up to the northG.
There lies your reputatFion and all that you're Gworth.
GmWhere the scent of wild roses Fturns the milk to Gcream.
BbTell your mother that you walked all Cnight on velvet green. Gsus2 F Gsus2
And the long grass blows in Fthe evening coolG.
And August's rare delight Fmay be April's foolG.
GmBut think not of that, my love,
FI'm tight against the seam.G
BbAnd I'm going up to meet yoCu down on velvet green. Gsus2 F

GNow I may tell you that it's Flove and not just lustG.
And if we live the lieF, let's lie in truGst.
GmOn golden daffodils, Fto catch the silver streamG
Bbthat washes out the wild Coat seed on velvet greenGsus2. F Gsus2
We'll dream as lovers Funder the stars G---
of civilizations Fraging afar.G
And the ragged dawn breaks on your bFattle scars.G
BbAs you walk home cold andC alone upon velvet green.Gsus2 F
